What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

cv129 · 08-10-2021, 09:54 AM

G37’s AGM was deteriorating fast. I haven’t been plugging it in for the past couple of years. The repeating short trips took a toll. Replaced with a cheap Interstate, $90 from Costco.

Wife’s Z OEM battery was getting weak. Swapped in the AGM from my Z (hardly used).

Talking to Phunk to join the Antigravity train. Skipping the pkg deal tho as I already have a lithium compatible charger.

Crazy…so I ordered the HKS Hi Power for $1232 shipped (I think that’s a good deal) Monday morning and I’m getting it today…fastest shipping ever. Coming from Nevada to Washington State, but still. I’m getting tuned tomorrow so perfect timing. Super excited though, I’ve had to baby the Z the last few days because of how loud it is.

RIP Tomei lol

I run an HKS on mine.I love it.Mellow at low RPM but wakes up nicely at higher RPM.

Fitment is excellent too.

I love my HKS too. Wish it were a true 2.50" though. I just had my exhaust tips powder coated gloss black

I saw that but he’s kinda far, so i figured shipping and hassle would bring it kinda close.

Hope you can get it too.

That's true, shipping cost to you would be pretty expensive.

I paid $120.00 but I know they can be done cheaper. These guys were close to me so I went with them.

Thought about getting new tires for my Z today... but ended up buying a bunch of goodies for my Jeep.

Don't that just piss you off.

abm89 · 08-11-2021, 08:40 PM

I know exactly how it happened. Some d-bags decided to block the ON-RAMP onto Mopac (one of the main highways in Austin) while arguing over an accident they just had.

I went on the shoulder to go around.

All the trash collects just outside of the painted lines. That's an area I try my hardest to stay away from.

A Black Z34 · 08-12-2021, 09:28 AM

HKS on…coming from a Tomei, wow. So tame and refined on startup and while cruising, but on WOT, a nice deep growl. A true gentlemen’s exhaust.

abm89 · 08-12-2021, 11:09 AM

State inspection today, so im un-taping my haltech dash that way they dont get confused. On that note, i noticed that the OEM odometer ticks faster than what's recorded over OBD-II

Nissan Shenanigans?!

abm89 · 08-12-2021, 01:30 PM

OH WTF they actually failed my inspection because the cats said "not ready"

smh
